Lake Macquarie Police are investigating an armed robbery on a take-away food outlet at Cameron Park.
Police say a man in his 40's entered the Subway outlet on Stenhouse Drive just after 7.30pm on Monday and walked up to the counter before lifting his shirt to show he had a knife down his pants.
The staff member who served him handed over cash from the till and he walked out of the store, across the road towards the Cameron Park Industrial Estate.
A search by a Police Dog failed to find any trace of him.
Police say he was wearing a flannelette hooded jumper and surgical mask.
Investigators are checking CCTV footage in a bid to identify the man.
